THE FAMILY WISHES TO EXPRESS THEIR GRATITUDE FOR YOUR KINDNESS EVIDENCED IN THOUGHT, WORD AND DEED AND INVITES YOU TO JOIN THEM FOR LUNCH AND FELLOWSHIP AT CHURCH FOLLOWING THE INTERMENT.

Joyce Ann, daughter of Segwall and Velma (Spencer) Henriksen, was born September 29, 1934, at Audubon, Iowa. She graduated from Audubon High School in 1952. On May 2, 1953, Joyce was united in marriage with Don Zubrod at El Paso, TX, where Don was stationed with the U.S. Army. Five children were born to this union.

In 1961, the family moved to Manning. Through the years Joyce was the bookkeeper for Don's TV and their car wash business. She also owned and operated The Dime Store with Marsha Clausen for thirteen years. Joyce was a member of Sacred Heart Church and choir in Manning. She liked to play cards, read and spend time regularly with her friends. Joyce had many creative hobbies, including making porcelain dolls, cross-stitch, crochet, quilting and sewing. She treasured time with her family, especially during the Christmas season.

Joyce courageously battled cancer for over two years. Following a short stay at the Manning General Hospital, she died there on Wednesday, December 23, 2009. She was 75 years, 2 month and 24 days of age.

Preceding her in death are her parents; three children in infancy; sisters: Kathleen in infancy; Gertrude Testroet (Ed); Rosemary Kuntzweiller (Warren); Jeannie Hilsabeck; and Judith Hess; niece Jennifer Hess and nephew Steve Hilsabeck.

Joyce is survived by her husband Don Zubrod of Manning; five children: Brad Zubrod (Maureen) of Augusta, ME; Craig Zubrod (Nancy) of Runnells; Susan Hinners (Dale) of Manning; Barb Haubrich of Manning; and Mike Zubrod (Sheri) of Des Moines; thirteen grandchildren: Alison and Sean Zubrod; Steven Zubrod (Shannon); Mary Harrigan (Jeff); Patrick Zubrod; Toni Short (Shawn); Josie Ochanpaugh; Mackenzie Pudenz (Kelly); Joseph Hinners; Roxanne Doyel (Jake); Ryan, Rachel and Ross Haubrich; 9 great-grandchildren; brothers-in-law Merlyn Zubrod (Pat) of Templeton and Kenny Zubrod (Donna) of Arizona; sister-in-law Carol Mae Rupiper of Phoenix, AZ; special niece Lynda Harter (Tony); other relatives and friends.

 

The Magic of a Mother's touch
There's magic in a Mother's touch,
and sunshine in her smile.
There's love in everything she does
to make our lives worthwhile.
We can find both hope and courage
Just by looking in her eyes.
Her daughter is a source of joy,
her works are warm and wise.
There is a kindness and compassion
to be found in her embrace,
and we see the fight of heaven
shining from a Mother's face.
